Remember: This is a MINI plot and with NO WAR portion.
Let's repeat. MINI PLOT and NO WAR.
One more time. MINI PLOT and NO WAR.

======== Links of interest =========
Last Thread: http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25367
Altador: http://www.neopets.com/altador/index.phtml?
Star Mapper (thanks DarkFire): http://www.boomspeed.com/zaniam/theSky.html & instructions.

(Note: Make sure you click CONTINUE (if applicable) when you have completed each part!)

(New Note: The "Add Star" button in the telescope does NOT add a new star to the sky. Instead, it lets you add a star to the constellation you're currently building without drawing a line. This is important to know.)

========= The Beginning ============
1. Click the big castle in the center of the map, The Hall of Heroes
2. In the very back-right corner, you'll see a familiar character. Click him!
3. Hey! It's our old friend again. Looks like he has a new job-- Janitor. Click that button that's next to him.
---> Hm, nothing happened.
4. Oh well, Now click the Altadorian Archives, then go into the doorway on the right.
5. Click the book that is under one of the table legs and balancing it.
---> Hm, we're going to have to replace it...
6. Now go to the QUARRY. And find a rock that'll be suitable. Stumped? Here.
---> Aha! A good replacement for that book...
7. Go back to the Altadorian Archives and click that same book again.
---> We can access the book now! (Located near the top-right part of the scene)
8. You can read the prologue from that book now.
---> Advance a page by clicking the top-right of the book, go back by clicking the top-left.
*** Page 1~3 Acquired! *** (out of 53 pages)
9. Go back to the Janitor in The Hall of Heroes and talk to him.
---> Hmm. We're going to need something to help oil some gears...
10. Click each statue until you find a bottle of oil & a rag.
---> Note: Location is different for each person. Perhaps you should write where you found it, just in case. (Although evidence indicates that it is NOT relevant)
11. Once you've found it, go back to the Janitor and click the button again.
---> The ceiling opens up! Let there be LIGHT!
* On the left side of The Hall of Heroes, there is now a staircase leading up to a dome-shaped room. Looks like a telescope is missing.
* If you click each statue in The Hall of Heroes, on the very top pixels /section of the picture of the statue, you can click and look up, and get some arrangement of gems. There is a helpful compilation of the pictures by soymimi here

======= We see the light =======
1. So it looks like the Astronomy club is finally advertising. Go to the Altador Archives and click the pamphlet that shows a telescope. Or click here!
---> You've recieved a telescope!
2. Go back to the Hall of Heroes and go up the staircase on the left side. Click the telescope holder.
---> It fits! You've found the cinderella! ... Actually I guess you found the slipper... oh whatever.
3. Now for the work. Get to it! Start mapping. By the way, Everyone's star formation is different from another. We can help with details, but you're going to have to interpret on your own from now on!
---> Excellent star mapper courtesy of DarkFire here. Follow the instructions on her post.
---> If you want to map your coordinates yourself in Excel, AngelFoxBlue wrote some pretty clear instructions on doing that here.

===== Constellations: Found! ======
1. THE SLEEPER
--> a. Go to The TOMB (bottom-left corner of the main Altador Map)
On the door of the tomb, the black dots are clickable. Try clicking it.
It lights up
--> b. Go to the Wise Lenny in The Altadorian Archives.
--> c. Go to the observatory and look in your telescope. (At this time use Darkfire's mapper. Any time before this you'll get a different set of stars!)
--> d. Find the exact formation found in part a (the orientation is as seen on the tomb doors-- it is NOT rotated in any way) and you will have found your first constellation! (Important note: You MUST connect the lines rather than just using "Add Star". If you don't, the correct stars can be rejected!)
--> e. After you have found it, go back to the Lenny at the Altadorian Archives.
*** Page 4~7 Acquired! ***
--> f. Go to the Hall of Heroes and click on the DARK FAERIE (the one towards the bottom) and look up. The jewels are illuminated! (And the janitor complains of the light)
--> g. Check in with the Astronomy Club and see what they have to say about your discovery.

2. THE DREAMER
--> a. The top right cloud in Altador is clickable. Do it.
--> b. Near the top part of picture, click on the gaps inbetween the clouds. THis will reveal your new constellation to find.
--> c. Talk to the Lenny again to see what he has to say now
--> d. Go back to the Observatory and look through your telescope.
===> NOTE: Your star map is the SAME as before.
===> NOTE: You must connect the "top part" using the *connect stars* option, but to get the lone star you MUST use the *add star* option.
--> e. Once you have obtained your constellation and submitted, the jewels above The Dreamer (left side) will be illuminated.
--> f. Go back to the Lenny, Astronomy Club, and Janitor to get new messages.
*** Page 8~11 Acquired! ***

========================================
Any additions/corrections should be posted here.

Just wondering if anyone else is going back to Aldator at random intervals to try and find a new clickable bit?

I've found my Dreamer constellation stars, but after submitting it I keep getting the message that it's not a constellation. It's really frustrating, and I'm certain this is the right combination of stars. Why won't it accept my constellation?

If you want my star data to see if you can find an alternative dreamer constellation in my sky, just PM me and I'll send it to you.


Edit: Oops! I thought you said dancer. Have you done all the trigger events?
1. Click on clouds
2. Click on cloud gap
3. Talk to Lenny in the archives
4. Submit constellation


Yes, I have performed all of these trigger events, but my constellation will still not be accepted.

Righty oh :)
Now anyone want to help me find my Dancer constellation? I've found two possibles, each missing one star. Let me know so I can PM you the co-ordinates.

Try in a different browser maybe? Or wait a bit? Maybe they're doing updates? Sorry I can't be of more help :(

I've been having the same problems with it not accepting my constellation ever since the dreamer was released a few days ago.

I'm not sure about this but why not try using that star in between of your two points and go from there. Did that make sense?

anchororange- Since you have done all the steps (and you did click the continue button each time, right?) all I can think of is that you don't really have the right constellation. I found 6, each of which I was sure was right, they were so close.

Good luck!

Ooooh. Interesting.

For people using Darkfire's StarMapper, you can actually get your Dancer constellation to map as well (if you hadn't already noticed).

All you need to do is, after locating the coordinates of the Dancer on your star map, is add those co-ordinates to the end of the Star Map Data as follows:

Quote:
|3!53,50;113,80#113,80;173,50#173,50;173,-90#173,-90;113,-120#113,-120;53,-90#53,-90;53,50|


The | symbols start and end each constellation, so make sure to put one between the start of this string and the end of the Dreamer coordinates.

The 3! indicates that this is the third constellation, and that the data following the ! are the coordinates of the stars, etc.

After that, the codes work as follows:

Coordinates separated by a semi-colon ( ; ) form a line with a star at each point. Each line is separated by a hash ( # ).

Therefore, to draw a line between A and B, and between B and C, the data string would show:

Quote:
A;B#B;C


So yea, add those coordinates, select the size of the map, and the Dancer should show up for you.

For those who are absolutely positive they have the right constellation and you've done all the lead up steps, are you sure you're connecting the first five stars and just adding the last? It makes a difference on being accepted.

So, which club is it that the Astronomy club replaced on the message boards in the hallway to the Archives? You can't get to it by changing the URL- it sends you right back to the hallway.

Yes, I used the connect option for the first five stars and simply added the final star with the add option.

And my theory that I have a dud-sky continues, as I sent my coordinates to atomicblonde and still my Dancer could not be found. Here's my starmap again:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v385/ ... pezsvp.jpg

If anyone else wants to take a look at it. I'm off to get some sleep but I'll check back here when I wake up (I'll also check to see if my star_data changed).

Thanks in advance to anyone who feels like taking a look.
